To be honest, I think it's appalling that they are taking a story about a horse who fought so hard for his freedom and suddenly making him (or his descendant or whatever) eager to tote around this random girl.The character designs of the humans also look completely out of place for the 1800s. People "back in the day" always have that slightly gaunt look, unless they were super rich. Probably due to not getting a lot to eat in hard times. Also, these girls are wearing skinny-jeans??
I thought it was set in modern times at first too, but when I looked up more info it's supposedly set in the 1800s.
Oh! Not modern day? Then nothing about this show fits together. How weird????
I love the movie too and the music. I'm not loving this new series. It doesn't seem like a Spirit themed show, they just call it that, because they have a horse that looks like Spirit but doesn't truly represent Spirit. I'm not sure if that makes sense.
Okay so as you can see in this thread, I was nay saying this show with the best of them. I just got done watching the pilot though and would like to post my thoughts to everybody under a spoiler. It is better than I thought it would be. Spoiler I still think the clothes Lucky and her friends are wearing look to modern for the 1800s but other than that, I have a much more positive outlook for this show. Spirit does not just become Lucky's lap dog for no reason. She watches him get captured from the train she and her dad and aunt are on. Later in the town, she sees him in the corral looking really dispirited and nonplussed with his situation and their friendship seems to start with both of them understanding each other in that neither one feels that they belong in that town. Their friendship starts when Lucky gives him her apple and shows him some kindness and understanding. While she's at school, there is a scene with the wranglers trying to ride Spirit and true to himself, he's having none of it and bucks them and the saddle all off. I'm glad I gave the show a chance. Overall, I think Spirit is still true to himself and I'm still hoping due to the sudden blaze that this is a descendant of his with the same name. It seems legit the way he and Lucky bonded. It wasn't just magically out of nowhere and I think everyone else should give it a chance too now.
